Some of the authors discussed in the book include: Oscar Wilde, Brendan Behan, John Broderick, Colm Tóibín, Keith Ridgway, Jamie O’Neill, Micheál Ó Conghaile and Barry McCrea. The book critically analyses the emergence of contemporary Irish gay fiction since 1993, especially its most notable genres: the coming out romance and the historical romance. It assesses the role of the novel in the evolution of Irish LGBT politics, mapping a literary and cultural space where the utopian aspirations of sexual liberation have clashed with the reformism and neo-liberal political rationality of identity politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevolutionary bodies\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique critical intervention into our understanding of queer Irish cultures in the wake of the 2015 referendum and the Varadkar election.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40072576991315,"sku":"9781526135421","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781526135421.jpg?v=1771338619","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/revolutionary-bodies-homoeroticism-and-the-political-imagination-in-irish-writing","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
